The beetle dies.
Its corpse turned into layers of gray mist rising into the sky.
A giant tree appeared in the gray fog.
——Tree of Holy Wishes!
It rumbled:
"We will fully assist you and help you defeat the enemies of all living beings——"
"Doomsday, war, rotation, darkness, authority and other various sequences."
Gu Qingshan's eyes widened and he couldn't help but ask: "Are those bugs the doomsday you are talking about?"
The giant tree said: "Not just insects, but all existences that destroy sentient beings, and all sequences that lead sentient beings astray, will be our enemies."
"So we draw from all sources of power and degenerate them - all for the good of all sentient beings."
"And sentient beings may not understand the sacrifices we have made."
"Are you willing to accept this path?"
Gu Qingshan showed excitement, clenched his small fist and said: "I do!"
"Very good." Jushu said happily.
Its image disappears.
In the sky, all the gray mist swarmed down and rushed into Gu Qingshan's body.
The scene was empty.
Gu Qingshan found that everything had disappeared.
He returned to the ceremony.
Around him, the priests chanted prayers devoutly.
And the giant gray tree formed a shadow, emitting all kinds of wonderful fluctuations.
——Has this test been completed?
Small scarlet letters kept floating in front of his eyes, explaining the current situation:
"The Tree of Sacred Wishes is just an elementary fallen holy object."
"It can only go so far."
"——Congratulations, you have gained the attention of the Holy Wishes Tree and will obtain its contract items."
"It will help you accomplish one thing. When it is accomplished, you will be transformed into a fallen existence according to the contract."
"Note: You can choose to accept the contract, but the follow-up will be very troublesome; you can also give up the contract, in which case the degeneration ceremony will temporarily fail, and they will hold the ceremony for you again at a suitable time in the future."
Gu Qingshan glanced at it and understood immediately.
It seems that this ritual is not always successful. After all, I am so young. If I were an ordinary child, I might be too frightened to say anything.
And the level of this holy object is only elementary.
This is more in line with the current era, because this magical civilization is also in its infancy.
Gu Qingshan asked silently: "Can I really make a contract with it?"
Sequence said: "Your soul will be corrupted, and every desire will be infinitely magnified and will haunt you forever - if you are willing to accept it -"
"That's it?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"That won't work either. Liu Dao is watching over me." Sequence said.
Gu Qingshan shrugged.
The next second, the tree made a loud sound:
"As a child with outstanding talents, there is nothing in this world that I cannot do."
"You can tell me whatever you have in mind."
"I'll help you get it done."
"In exchange, you will become a more advanced being, join the Holy See, and walk in the mortal world as a holy messenger."
Gu Qingshan pondered for a while and said: "I want you to help me... become the strongest magician in the world. When my strength is beyond the reach of everyone, you must let all the followers come to witness for me."
Shengshu said: "With your status and qualifications, I can agree to this."
"Then it's settled." Gu Qingshan said.
A leaf fell from the giant tree and spread out in front of him.
I saw that what had just been agreed upon was written on it, forming a contract with strange power.
Once Gu Qingshan becomes the strongest mage, he will be transformed into a fallen existence under the witness of all fallen people.
Gu Qingshan glanced at the contract and nodded.
call--
The leaf burned quickly.
The contract is established.
The giant tree rumbled towards the other believers:
"Next, all of you must help him practice with all his strength and strive to make him the best mage in the world as soon as possible."
"No need to hesitate, he has the qualifications."
After saying that, the shadow of the giant tree gradually disappeared.
Everything is back to normal.
Gu Qingshan looked at the Archbishop.
I saw the archbishop's expression was extremely kind, and he said with a smile: "Gude, come with me, I will take you to the big library, you can choose from all the secret art atlas of the mage category - of course, we will arrange someone to guide you."
Smiles also appeared on the faces of other bishops.
——The Holy Wish Tree said it himself, this child will definitely become the strongest mage in the world.
Besides, he is still one of his own.
Then why didn't you fawn earlier?
"Thank you for your kindness, but before studying, I have something to do." Gu Qingshan said.
"What is it?" asked the Archbishop.
"I want to...eat something first."
"no problem!"
…
Time flies.
Three months have passed in a flash.
On this day, the Holy Church held a grand celebration ceremony.
All believers are required to come to the headquarters of the Holy See to participate in a great pilgrimage.
It is said that during this pilgrimage ceremony, the Holy See will canonize a young holy mage.
The strength of this holy mage...
He has surpassed the entire world and is truly the number one person.
After this explosive news spread, not only all the believers went crazy about it, but even every empire in the world was shocked by it.
They all requested to send delegations to observe the ceremony.
Normally, the Holy See would like these forces to send people here, but this time they directly refused.
It is said that this is the opinion of the holy mage.
Anyway, as time went by, it was time for the ceremony to begin.
Ceremony scene.
The Pope stood on the high platform and led everyone throughout the Holy See to pray.
Gu Qingshan was resting in the back.
He quietly listened to the waves of fanatical prayers outside, and the roar of applause after the prayers were completed, and felt extremely bored.
It wasn't until someone came to invite him to the stage that he reluctantly cheered up and followed two rows of cardinals onto the high platform.
The Pope boasted first.
The archbishop boasted again.
——It was Gu Qingshan’s turn to speak in person.
He walked to the center of the high platform, coughed slightly and said: "Then, I will make it clear -"
"I'm not interested in magic. I don't like using magic at all."
"The happiest time for me is when I kill enemies with my own hands."
"I actually regret the reason why I learned magic, but there is no other way. This is all to achieve a small goal."
The whole place fell silent.
Suddenly, everyone burst into thunderous applause.
look!
This level of speaking, this style, this bearing!
Sure enough, only a holy mage dares to say this!
Gu Qingshan didn't expect this kind of reaction, with a bit of embarrassment on his face, and continued: "For a person, if he falls, it is easy to save him; but for a civilization, I have to eliminate the foundation of corruption step by step, and still be able to save him. There is a lot of work to be done, such as: public opinion front, cultural front, production methods, creation, and even some things that have been subtle."
"It's very troublesome anyway, and I have to complete all this before I can start to promote the progress of civilization."
"Time doesn't wait for me, so I'm sorry——"
Gu Qingshan softened his tone and continued: "Everyone, remember, from now on, don't be easily deceived by others, whether it is for power or something else, in short, you must weigh in your heart what you will lose in order to gain power."
"But don't worry, everyone. After all, the level of degeneration is not high now. I have asked you specifically that after you die, you can still go to the underworld to be reincarnated."
"Finally, please take a look at the results of my three months of practice."
"Let the fire purify everything."
"——Fireball."
Gu Qingshan raised one hand high.
A sudden vision occurred——
I saw a scorching sun suddenly appearing in the far-reaching sky directly above the high platform.
This round of scorching sun is larger than the area occupied by the entire Holy See on the earth.
The scorching sun radiated extremely hot temperatures, causing all the buildings below to burst into flames.
The entire group of Fallen were panicking, but there was no way to escape.
After all, it is irresistible light.
Gu Qingshan dropped his arm.
The scorching sun followed his movements and set crashing down.
The earth-shaking sound spread throughout the world.
A blazing fire broke out on the ground, and the scorching shock wave caused everything within hundreds of miles outside the Holy See to begin to melt.
The hot wind swept away in all directions, and everything was reduced to ashes.
It was not until dozens of breaths later that all the noise settled down and the world returned to silence.
Gu Qingshan floated in the air, folded his arms, and lowered his head to check the results.
"Well...yes, everything is done."
he said to himself.
Suddenly, a burst of gray mist emerged from the void, turning into giant trees connecting the sky and the ground.
Gu Qingshan applauded and praised: "Well done, you really brought all the believers to me. This saved me a lot of time and energy."
"You are betraying!" The giant tree roared.
"I didn't seem to promise that I would treat them well." Gu Qingshan said.
A leaf emerged from the giant tree and floated gently in front of Gu Qingshan.
——That fallen contract.
The giant tree said in a low voice: "I have completed the part of the contract, so now it is your turn to transform into a fallen person."
Gu Qingshan glanced at the leaves.
Is it possible to do such a thing as soul corrosion?
Besides, there are still six reincarnations to watch.
He did not hesitate to call up the name "Original Pure Love Group" and lock it in.
Name skill: Liangliang.
Su Xueer's infinite evolution was abandoned and replaced by the old goblin's magical skills!
Gu Qingshan coughed lightly and said righteously:
"Sorry, I was cheating."
